OpenLibrary has 3 editions of "Leasing in Canada" but I don't see cover
images on any of the records.  Where are you seeing this?

The second book has a cover image, I suspect, that was drawn from the DAISY
format copy and those seem to get displayed, but not included in the API
(perhaps because of copyright concerns)..

This inconsistency was reported recently, I think on this list, but perhaps
the ol-discuss list.  I haven't seen any feedback from OL staff as to why
it happens or whether the behavior is intentional.
